Description

Hello, everyone out there. We’re looking for energetic volunteers to help out at my beautiful new retreat center in a neighborhood of Haßfurt in Lower Franconia. If you’d like to contribute to an inspiring and spiritual place, put your skills to use, and enjoy a relaxing break in the countryside at the same time, you’ve come to the right place! Here’s where we need your help: My parents’ old farmhouse is set to be converted into a retreat center. One room is already finished—well, actually, two. For the remaining renovation work, you should ideally have experience or strong skills in at least one of these areas: Painting: Painting walls using eco-friendly, traditional casein paint. Drywall: Installing drywall (framing, paneling, spackling). Upcycling & Restoration: Restoring old wooden furniture to its former glory (sanding, oiling, glazing). Sewing: Sewing curtains and drapes for our seminar rooms from my grandparents’ old bedsheets. I have a small self-sufficient garden where I also need some help—and where you’re welcome to help yourself, of course. We’ll provide you with food, and we’ll take turns cooking. The surroundings: Our house is surrounded by nature. In your free time, you can enjoy wonderful activities here [e.g., hiking, biking, relaxing by the lake, enjoying the peace and quiet]. Who’s a good fit for us: People who can work independently, have an eye for detail, and work carefully (especially when it comes to eco-friendly construction with casein paint and clay plaster, and when restoring furniture). You should be reliable and eager to engage in respectful, warm interactions as equals. Please briefly tell us who you are, what prior experience you bring (feel free to mention your favorite tasks as well), and when you’d be available. Warm regards, Renate
